What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins held a roundtable discussion with farmers in Caldwell. During the visit, she announced two policy changes: starting with the 2027 crop year, cotton producers will be allowed to purchase multiple weather endorsements on a single crop insurance policy, and the USDA will now oversee efforts to encourage foreign countries to buy more American cotton. This action follows the United States losing its title as the world’s top cotton exporter to Brazil in 2023.
